Agenda Item #32
The City of Miami has been awarded a $300, 000 Federal Grant
from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to provide
job opportunities for unemployed Miami workers to develop a
portion of the Miami Bayfront Park. Approximately 40 workers
will be hired for about one year.
The City's consultants for this project, Edward D. Stone and
Associates, are preparing the necessary drawings to begin this
work by the end of February. All of the proposed park improve-
ments will take place in the area near Biscayne Boulevard.
The City has earmarked $700, 000 from. the "Parks for People" Bonds
to be added to the Federal Grant to accomplish as much of this phase
of the project as our consultants determine is practical.
This EDA project will require weekly progress reports to Washington,
D. C. On December 19, 1975, the City Commission adopted Motion
75-1193. It is now appropriate for the City Commission to adopt a
resolution confirming the action of the City Commission accepting
the Economic Development Act Grant in the amount of $300, 000.
